Fluoroelastomer FPO 3632
Medium Fluorine Peroxide Curable
Product Description
Dyneon Fluoroelastomer FPO 3632 is a medium fluorine content peroxide curable grade, which provides excellent physical properties,
very good chemical resistance and improved bonding to silicones. The material is recommended for extrusion and moulding processes.
Special Features
 Composition: terpolymer of vinylidene fluoride,
hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene plus cure site
monomer
 Improved bonding to silicones
 Process target: moulding and extrusion
 Good low temperature properties
 Excellent flow and scorch safety
 High resistance against chemical fluids
 Excellent physical properties
Typical Applications
Dyneon Fluoroelastomer FPO 3632 has been designed for hoses as well as for moulded goods. It can be used for manufacturing of
multi-layer turbo charger hoses due to its improved bonding to silicones.

Storage and Handling
Store and use all Dyneon Fluoroelastomers only in well-ventilated areas under cool and dry conditions. The shelf life of FPO 3632 is 2 years from date
of manufacturing (in case of unopened bags). Opening the bags reduces the shelf life to 6 months; usage of the material as soon as possible is
preferable. It is highly recommended to reseal the bags of both the gum and the compounds produced thereof when not used right away.
Inappropriate storage of gum and compound can affect the bonding characteristics.
Delivery Form
Dyneon Fluoroelastomer FPO 3632 is delivered in slab form.
Packaging sizes are:
 25 kg cardboard box comprised of 2 PE / Aluminium / Epoxy bags, containing 12.5 kg of product each
 600 kg returnable bulk shipping container systems comprised of 48 PE / Aluminium / Epoxy bags, containing 12.5 kg of product each
Processing Recommendations
Dyneon Fluoroelastomer FPO 3632 can be compounded using standard water-cooled internal mixers or two-roll mills with standard fillers and
ingredients utilized in typical fluoroelastomer formulations. The “dry” ingredients should be blended before adding to the masticated gum. For best
results, FPO 3632 should be banded on the mill several minutes prior to adding the blended dry ingredients. Once mixed, the compounded stocks
have good scorch resistance.
